The building itself is stunning, with great architecture and tons of natural light that makes walking through the galleries feel really open and peaceful. They have works from Monet and other well known artists, which was really exciting to see in person. There's a lot to explore, so I'd recommend setting aside a few hours to really take it all in. Just make sure to plan your timing because they close at 5 PM. The staff throughout the museum were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's also a large gift shop with lots of unique items and a cafe inside the museum, which is nice if you want to take a break during your visit.

We attended the annual Memorial weekend Civil War reenactment. Had a good time. The soldiers tents were staked. Full uniformed soldiers walked the streets. Then the two sides gathered into their regiments and the shooting began. We forget how this conflict was fought with small groups of men, many farmers and young boys in scant uniforms, tho nearly 300 men and women reenacted. The conflict lasted a good hour. Was very well planned out. The village's 20 buildings were staffed by volunteers. Some food was available for purchase. This is also the site for Burton's summer Chautauqua series--free!

For a "museum" in a little town staffed mainly by volunteers, this place is great!!…read more Rather than one big stuffy building with dusty old paintings on the wall and withered artifacts behind glass, Century Village instead is an outdoor "town" of structures apropos to the day - the settlement and early years for this area, that is. They even have a wooden church in great shape that you can walk into that was actually used in the 1800s which was relocated here for preservation. There is an admission fee that goes directly to their non-profit cause. Their "gift shop" is the town's general store in which you'll find period-proper snacks and trinkets. Century Village has lots of events throughout the year. One of our favorites is the popular pancake breakfast in maple syrup season (around March each year) - one of their fundraisers. Another is their civil war era reenactment which includes soldier and civilian encampments. It's not all about the soldiers - who put on a series of excellent displays and battles - but other living historians who show you what it was like to live in pre-20th century America (weaving, washing laundry, cooking, etc.). Other events include historical machinery which features some of the first tractors and farm equipment used long ago. The site is located in the heart of Burton Township in Geauga County, on the southeast corner of the town square. This is where 87, 168, and 700 meet. Again, a gem in such a small township, Century Village is tops!

We had a blast visiting the Northern Ohio Railway Museum! It's one thing to read about trolleys and…read moreelectric railways in a book, but seeing them in person is so much better. My family was fascinated by the old streetcars and learning about how Cleveland's Rapid system started. The museum has a huge collection of restored rail cars and it's a very peaceful, outdoor setting. It's one of the best educational things to do in Medina County. If you're a railfan or just looking for a cool local spot to explore on a Saturday, put this on your list. Affordable, educational, and run by people who truly care about preserving history. Rides are only offered on the second and fourth Staurdays of each month.

Only open one day a week, the museum has two sets of buildings containing a number of their rolling stock and another group of rolling stock exposed to the elements. I totally enjoyed talking about our experiences visiting other rail museums in the country. In the future, the museum hopes to run a track with a live overhead wire and one can see the work in progress. Each of the housed rolling stock has a placard with all the information a railfan could want. The museum is free and one is given a personal tour with a member.

Im not sure if theres free parking but we used the paid parking lot beside the building to avoid driving around and close proximity convenience.

I've been to Cleveland a few times now and I usually stop by the nearby Museum of Art, but I…read moreFINALLY decided to check out this spot today and I had so much more fun! I've been to my fair share of natural history museums, and while this one is compact, it is very modern and packs a punch! When you enter, you're immediately greeted by a giant dinosaur and that set the tone for the whole visit, I felt like I kept seeing dinosaur bones everywhere! It took me a moment to orient myself to the museum layout, but looking back it's pretty compact and I could've easily wandered and enjoyed most of the museum in a couple hours. I especially enjoyed how interactive the earth section was, and this is silly but sit on those rock-looking cushions - they are SO comfortable! The little planetarium area was also very cool, and I would consider seeing a show in there next time! The dioramas are by far the most beautiful/engaging I've seen, and with between the fish video cave and the outdoor animal area, I felt like I also got a mini trip to the aquarium and the zoo. Overall I had an amazing time and this spot is super baby/toddler friendly! Note: If you have ASTC membership, admission is included! As a non museum member, I'd recommend street parking. It's much cheaper than the flat rate garage fare.

There are SO MANY rooms and interactive things to do & keep busy! Ohio animals/bugs, planets, body system, fish, birds, coyotes, otters, etc!!!!! They have a movie theater that shows different short movies (~ 30-45 mins) & a planetarium - sadly we missed the shows for the planetarium... BUT we will be back!! We watched a T-Rex film that I will say, I thought was going to be dumb.... But again was actually so cool! Do not underestimate this museum! Plus Cuyahoga county residents get in for free on the weekends & according to their events page.. they hold SO many fun activities for kids and adults - like yoga! I cannot wait to come back & explore this place again (especially the planetarium) & participate in some of there events! Thank you for the sweetest staff & a great day!

I had family in town and their only request was to see the Rock Hall, so I made it happen. They are currently doing construction and we had to enter in a different entrance. The staff was so nice.

I will be back, especially after the 2026 induction occurs and the exhibits change again. The gift shop was so fun also.

But honestly, we should have just saved our time and money and found a Hard Rock Cafe. It's under construction, which can't be helped. All the workers we encountered were very nice. And at first, the SNL feature on the bottom floor was cool-- it was fun to see costumes from the Blues Brothers, Wayne's World, etc. But it was so, SO crowded. There was almost no possibility of getting close enough to actually look at or read anything. At the same time, we were often pushed by the crowd into areas/displays we really didn't care about. Very frustrating. On the upstairs floors--well, there's not a lot. I took pictures of Kurt Cobain's busted guitar and a couple of Ozzy's coats. The rest was just-- meh. The gift shop was pretty extensive, but again too crowded. I don't expect a private experience or anything, but being able to look at merch without being touched would be preferable. Again, I'm sad because I wanted to love it. But I did not.
